The Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, punching their ticket to the 2024 NBA Finals. Jaylen Brown took home the Eastern Conference Finals MVP as Boston clinched their second Finals appearance in three seasons.

Here are three things you might have missed from the game.

1. Jrue Holiday’s Michael Jordan shrug

Back-to-back. The two-time. Ol’ Reliable.

Just one game after his and-one, big-bodied bucket in the paint to help the Celtics take a 3-0 series lead, Jrue Holiday pulled out the same exact move at a crucial moment in Game 4.

Boston was trying to claw their way back into the game, and Holiday drove inside, got Obi Toppin in the air with a pump-fake, nailed the and-1, and hit Indiana with a Michael Jordan shrug.

Pascal Siakam didn’t necessarily bite on a pump-fake in Game 3, but the play was the same. Holiday came through when the Celtics needed him most.

2. TJ McConnell is Michael Jordan

After Game 3, Jaylen Brown said that some players on the Pacers “turned into f****** Michael Jordan.”

After Game 4, he revealed that he was talking about one player: TJ McConnell.

“I was just going for the ball,” Brown said, detailing the play where he sent McConnell crashing to the ground. “The game is so fast. [I was] just trying to make a play on the ball, and I think I got him in the face a little bit. And you know, TJ’s my guy. I’ve got nothing but respect for TJ McConnell. We talked throughout the year. We talked even before this series.

“Man, TJ’s a dog. When I said that some of those guys turned into Michael Jordan, TJ McConnell is who I was talking about, man. He was like one of the more unstoppable players on that team. So, I didn’t mean no harm. I got him in the face a little bit, but rub some dirt on it, and hopefully it’ll be alright.”

3. Celtics fans in Indy

When the Celtics were receiving the trophies post-game, Gainbridge Fieldhouse was packed. Packed with green.

Boston fans completely dominated the stands as Boston celebrated their win, and “Let’s go, Celtics” chants broke out, ringing through the entire arena. And they were loud. Deafeningly loud.

The energy was incredible. Celtics fans travel well.

At Hozier’s performance on day three of Boston Calling, he didn’t shy away from world politics, touching on the importance of topics such as LGBTQIA+ rights, the women’s suffrage movement and apartheid in South Africa. He also made vague mentions to the Israel-Hamas war.

During his over-five-minute monologue, he talked about the importance of people showing up for one another, the legacy of protest and the revolution of love and kindness.

Prior to the monologue, Hozier had several other moments with fans including warming up their vocals and teasing one man in the crowd with a t-shirt cannon, saying “It’s like this man has torn a limb off Jack the Pumpkin King” and comparing it to “the world’s longest rainstick.”

Being in Boston, he connected his speech to the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution, talking about the importance of the movements.

The Boston Tea Party, which happened Dec. 16, 1773, is one of the nation’s most well-known events and propelled the country down the road to revolution.

His speech stressed the importance of kindness to one another.

“I just think these small acts of kindness, these small acts of love and solidarity, I genuinely think they hold the world together — in no sort of lofty, no sort of highfalutin, no sort of high concept way. I genuinely think it holds the world together. The small ways that we show up every single day and the way that we witness in our mess, in our best mates and in our friends, and we see it in our parents,” Hozier said.

Hozier also vaguely touched upon the Israel-Hamas war.

“We wouldn’t want our neighbors to live with racism or the fear of hatred around the corner. We wouldn’t want them. We wouldn’t want better for them. We wouldn’t want them to live with Islamophobia. We wouldn’t want them to have to face antisemitism. And I believe the core of people on the whole is good. I genuinely do,” Hozier said.

Hozier continued, adding that people “wouldn’t want to see the enabling of war going on” or the “kind of violence that we’re seeing on our TV screens,” but rather safety and security for everyone and Palestine freed from violence.

On Oct. 7, Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages. Israel, vowing to stamp out Hamas, attacked Gaza, leading to tens of thousands of deaths, many of them civilians. Estimates vary on the exact number of Palestinian deaths, and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs puts it at about 36,000 as of May. An additional 81,000 Palestinians have been reported injured, the United Nations reports.

Protests and encampments related to the Israel-Hamas war have played out on campuses across the country, and Massachusetts is no exception. Many of the student actions have resulted in suspensions and in some cases arrests.

At the end of his performance, Hozier brought out a LGBTQIA+ flag and threw his fist up in the air.

While Hozier was preaching about kindness, concert-goers said they felt unsafe due to the amount of people at the festival.

“There was just nowhere to go. So everyone was just kind of being like moved in a wave. And all I could think was, if God forbid there was some kind of panic that we were going to get trampled,” concert-goer Samantha Baron said.
